pay, so when Hansen was able to move
about he was given a chair at the station
house and considered as on duty, although
he was not required to do any work.
Lately he has been possessed of the
idea that the captain was requiring all
kinds of arduous and impossible tasks of
him, and that because he could not per
form them he was an object of suspicion
and dislike. To-day he llmpei up to the
mayors office and tried to get the mayor
to take his star away from him, and then
went to Chief Ebersold with an incoherent
tale of his sufferings His fellow police
men say that his mind has been unsettled
ever since the riot.

ANARCHlSTIC SENTIM ENTS.
AN IMMENSE MEETING IN COOPER
UNION MONDAY EVENING.
Fiery Addresses Delivered and the Red
Flag the Only Colors Seen -Exhorted
to Use More Fiery Language-The
Capitalists are the Foreigners.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S-Cooper Unions
great hall was filed tonight with mass
meeting by the German federation of
trades in memory of the executed anarch
lists. The Stage was decorated with black
and red Portraits of Spies and associates
draped in black were displayed, but the
American flag was not visible. Socialist
Sangerbund rendered in German Engels
dying song, "Thc Weavers." Sergius +.
Shevitch, the editor of the now detunct
leader the socialist organ, was the prin-
cipal speaker He said the occasion was
not for applause or weeping, it was the
tina to think and prepare for action, the
time to ask how those men lived. They lived
with one idea and died like heroes. The
vermin that murdered them were too
cowardly tc let them live. A qnarter of a
century ago John Brown, native Amerl-
can, was lynched. but four years later
half the nation was marching on with his
soul. A majority of the people do not see
how much terrible responsibility rests
on the press. The United States is the only
country on the globe where the press at
tempts to influence the outcome
OF criminal trials. In all other countries
the press silently let justice take its
course. He denounced the newspapers as
despicable towards. The foreigners in
the country are Jay Gould, the Wander.
bits and Sage. The foreigners are not
anarchists. The foreign element who
have nothing in kind with the people are
the capitalists, they control politics with
money and have disgraced our honor and
liberty. The execution at Chicago Will
forever be handed down as the worst
crime in your history. PowdeIly and
Henry George placed themselves in line
with the hangman. The object of the trag-
edy was to intimate the advance workers
of the labor movement. This red flag means
to put stop to the shedding of blood.
The blood on that flag is the blood of
thousands and millions slaughtered for
the flag. 1t is drenched in the blood of
the victims of the militia of Illinois and
other States. Let us stand together be
more fiery in language than ever. Let the
blood OF the anarchists cry out throughout
the world. The time is not far distant
when a national monument will be saised
to the men murdered in Chicago
Resolutions were passed pledginP those
present to support the widows and orphans

conductor, "as We stopped for the Fort
Wayne crossing in Englewood, on my first

good deal OF sensation among the young

had planned to do, aud as he had to take
my train into the city IN order to catch a
train out on another road, and as very i'm

standing second on the list, that Allison
was exceptionally strong throughout the

myself said Judge Lyman, 4 regard
Senator Allison as the strongest republi-

He is man against whom no antagonism
could be raised, whose character no man
could malign, and, best of all, he possesses
liberal amount of brains. But, as un-
